IRISH AFFAIRs.
Earl Granville Fights the Coercion Bill
in the House of Lords.

LONDON, July 14th I'm the House oil
Lords this afternoon Baron Ashburne, Lord
Chancellor Of Ireland, moved the second
reading Of the crimes bill. In making the
motion he described the bill as measure
intended to counteract the criminal and de-
moraizing system of intimidation now
reigning in Ireland.
Earl Granville said he would not deny
that the Government, finding itself unable
to maintain law and order by existing
measures, had right to apply to Parlia-
ment for further powers, but when the re
strictons proposed suspending the COM
mon personal rights, the cIearest proof was
required TO justify an exceptional law.
The state of Ireland was as peaceable now
as in 1885, when the ordinary law was
found Sufficient. Everybody knew the
real aim of the bill was to suppress com.
binations that interfered with the policy OF
the Government and brand them as illegal.
The opposition having done its utmost to
resist the passage of the bill must leave
upon the Government the responsibility for
the results.
The Duke OF Argyle, Lord CaTnayon and
others spoke, and the bill was then read
the second time. The measure will De DIS
cussed in committee tomorrow.

OPIUM SMUGGLING.
Arrest of an Eastern Smuggler-Saie of
COnfiscated Goods.

Arrest of Eastern Smuggler-SaIe of
COnfscated Goods.
iCopWig, 1887, by ac California Associated Press.
SAN Francisco. July 14th.-[Special.l /
The customs officers to-day made an arrest
which they confidently believe will lead To
important results and may end in breaking
up the gang of opium smugglers which it
has long been known has been operating
by way of British Columbia and Canada to
bring opium to this city. The man arrested
gave the name of Alfred Rhodus. He said
he was a resident of st. Louis, and was
visiting California merely on pleasure. Ac-
cording to the story of Deputy Surveyor
Fogarty, as told at tie examination of
Rhodus before Commissioner Sawyer this
afternoon, he suspected that Rhodus and a
book agent named Andrews were con-
cerned in opium smuggling. Both men were
shadowed, and it was found that
Rhodus had heavy trunk containing tin
boxes in the cellar of the house where he
stayed, and also that the box sent to him
had allowed black liquid to leak out
Fogarty taxed Rhodus with smuggling
opium, and the latter at once took him into
the cellar, saying he would show him what
the trunk contained He lifted the top
and the trunk was found to be full of boxes
bearing the label of what is known at the
Custom house as red brand opium.
Rhodus said it was preparation of sugar,
but Fogarty took several tins and submit
ted them to the United States Inspector of
Drugs, who found that the liquid contained
$40 per cent of morphia. During the ex-
animation of Rhodus, however, he had a
new story TO tell. He said he had lost
$500 at faro bank in Santa Cruz, and
that a man named Lougevin, st. Louis
merchant, had given him the stuff as Sc
curity for a loan. The United States Com
missioners smiled gravely, and took the
case under advisement.
The largest sale OF confiscated goods ever
held in this city was made by the United
States Marshal to-day. 1t consisted of
merchandise seized from Chinese steamers,
and was the result of three confiscations,
mostly opium, of which there was nearly
two tons. The latter realized SAC, 500. The
remainder Of the material brought s., 500.

LONDON, July 14th.-Sir George Trevelyn
has at last climbed down for good ON the
Gladstone side of the fence. He is to-day
accepted as the Gladstone candidate for the
Bridgeton Division of Glasgow. A long
letter defining his position appears to-day.
This bIilliantiy-written and rather pas
sionate manifesto consists of a dec
laration Of bitter hostility to the
Liberal-Unionists, with whom Treve-
lyn until lately had been acting. He
reproaches them wi tn their support of the
Tory Government, and reproaches Hart
ington in particular with refusing assent to
Gladstone's proposal for conference, and
denounces the Crimes Act as a measure
framed for the arbitrary suppression Of
political speech and political writings by
cruel and shameful penalties. Treve1ynis

nitted two motions. The first was in sub
stance to dismiss the complaints of Hol-
brook, Derby and others, farmers of Dakota,
On the general ground that the acts COM
planned of ante-date the passage OF the in
terstate law. The second was to dismiss
the complaints on the general ground that
the so-cailed testimony submitted was
taken without notice to the defendant, and
without giving an opportunity to cross
examine witnesses. The Commission, af-
ter brief consultation, stated to Burdett
that there seemed to be no reason for his
further attendance, and that its decision
would be made matter of record The
action of the Commission is equivalent to
q dismissal.

water, and the time was slow. In the final
heat Teemer had the west course and was
sheltered from the wind Hamm was in
the center, and Lee had the east side of
the lake. Both races to-day were four
miles. Teemer and Hamm started to-
gether, and Lee kept falling behind.
Teemer led Hamm to the third mile, and
there, for some reason stopped rowing,
and Hamm quickly passed him. Then
Teemer squared away again and passed
Hamm after half mile. He finished in
